On  Christmas  Eve,  1967,  an  O'Dea  student  was  fatally  injured 
in  an  automobile  accident  and  died  in  Harborview  Hospital  on 
January  3, 1968.  Frank  Leahy  came  to  O'Dea  as  a  freshman  in  1967, 
and  he  quickly  made  new  friends.  Frank  prospered  from  his  great 
number  of  friends  and  accordingly,  the  year  passed  quickly.  But 
now,  Francis  Patrick  Leahy  exists  continually  in  the  minds  and 
hearts  of  those  who  were  lucky  enough  to  know  him,  and  in  this 
manner,  Frank  will  always  be  close  at  hand.

Still  tangible  in  the  hearts  of  the  seniors  is  the  memory  of  two  classmates  who  left  us  last  Christ¬ 
mas  in  a  tragic  accident. 


Pete  Abeyta  possesed  most  of  the  attri¬ 
butes  of  a  young  O'Dea  man.  His  character¬ 
istic  smile  portrayed  his  nonchalant  nature 
and  peace  of  mind.  Friendship  with  Pete  was 
very  easy  because  of  his  generous  dispo¬ 
sition.  In  coming  to  O'Dea,  he  contributed 
much  to  the  lives  of  all  those  who  met  him. 


Don  Schuller,  always  full  of  mirth  arid  joy, 
kept  spirits  high  wherever  he  went.  A  hard 
worker  and  a  friend  to  most  everybody,  Don 
was  always  on  the  go  whether  in  school  or 
at  home.  On  the  way  home  from  church, 
Don  met  death  when  the  car  he  was  riding  in 
crashed  into  a  telephone  pole.

Christianity.  .  .an  entity,  a  con¬ 
cept,  a  way  of  life.  It  is  of  knowledge, 
of  responsibility  and  of  purpose. 

Christianity  is  of  thought;  religious 
thought,  moral  thought,  existential 
thought.  It  of  creative  thought, 
scientific  thought,  social  thought, 
practical  thought.  Of  thought  for 
others  and  thoughtfulness  for  others. 

Christianity  is  of  action:  of  pray¬ 
ing,  striving,  achieving.  It  is  of  ef¬ 
fort-combined  effort.  It  is  of  work¬ 
ing  and  playing;  living  and  dying. 
It  is  of  helping  those  who  need  help, 
disciplining  those  who  need  dis¬ 
ciplined,  complimenting  those  who 
deserve  to  be  complimented. 


Christianity  is  of  knowledge:  knowledge 
of  oneself,  knowledge  of  the  world,  know¬ 
ledge  of  God.  It  is  of  knowledge  of  society, 
knowledge  of  good  versus  evil,  knowledge  of 
necessity  versus  luxury.  It  is  of  scientific 
knowledge,  ecclesiastical  knowledge,  know¬ 
ledge  of  humanity. 

Christianity  is  of  responsibility:  knowing 
what  to  do,  and  when  to  do,  and  how  to  do. 
It  is  of  accepting  a  task,  working  to  the  best 
of  one's  ability,  carrying  your  share  of  the 
burden.  It  is  of  honor,  and  loyalty,  and  de¬ 
votion;  of  willingness  and  gratitude  and 
spirit. 


Christianity  is  of  purpose:  of  striving  to¬ 
ward  a  goal— a  social  goal  or  an  eschato¬ 
logical  goal.  Of  working  toward  unity^  or 
peace^  or  freedom  or  equality.  Of  searching 
for  love,  friendship,  heaven— or  God. 

Christianity  affects  our  thinking,  our 
actions,  our  learning  process,  our  morals, 
our  life's  philosophy.  We  observe  Christi¬ 
anity  in  ourselves  and  in  those  around  us. 
Seeing  Christianity  epitomized:  seeing  the 
people,  the  thought,  the  action— seeing  the 
knowledge,  the  responsibility,  and  the  pur¬ 
pose.  .  .is  seeing  the  faculty  and  students 
of  O'Dea.

MOTHER'S  CLUB 

L  Self-sacrifice  and  determined  effort— two  attri¬ 

butes  were  responsible  for  the  many  successes  of 
■  this  year's  Mother's  Club.  Or  perhaps  it  was  the 

able  and  competent  leadership  of  Mrs.  Hucik,  presi- 
j!  dent,  and  the  aid  of  Br.  Brouillette,  moderator. 

Their  labors  at  such  events  as  luncheons  for  the 
various  classes  raised  a  great  deal  of  money  for  the 
school.  This  money  was  put  to  work  to  aid  the  de- 
jl  bate  club,  the  Crosier  and  Olympian,  the  poster  club, 

]  and  the  winners  of  freshman  scholarships. 

Not  to  be  forgotten  are  the  loyal  mothers,  led  by 
!  Mrs.  Marchetti,  who  came  to  O'Dea  every  Thursday 

to  sell  hamburgers  to  ravenous  students.  The  profits

Under  the  leadership  of  Mr.  Allan  Swegle,  this 
year's  father  club  has  contributed  much  to  the  Aca¬ 
demic  and  Athletic  successes  of  the  school.  The 
Italian  Dinner  and  two  bingo's  were  the  three  major 
money-making  endeavors. 

Moderated  by  Br.  Frigo,  the  Father's  Club  purchased 
new  athletic  lockers,  a  new  engine  for  the  school 
bus,  and  built  eight  new  podiums  to  replace  the  old 
and  worn  teacher's  desks.  Financing  the  Athletic 
coaching  staff,  purchasing  a  language  testing  center, 
and  providing  overhead  projectors  were  also  among 
the  contributions  which  they  added.  Other  officers 
which  helped  make  the  Father's  Club  a  success  are: 
Mr.  Phil  Fuda  —  Vice-President,  Mr.  Dennis  Haley  — 
Secretary,  Mr.  Joseph  Barecca  —  Treasurer.

Ball  Was  "Night  to  Remember'.' 


CORONATION  BALL 

As  O'Dea's  foremost  social  event  of  the  year  com¬ 
menced,  110  men  and  their  dates  filled  the  beautiful 
Olympic  Bowl  at  the  Olympic  Hotel  for  the  eighteen¬ 
th  annual  Coronation  Ball.  While  Bob  Elwood  and  his 
quartet  impressed  everyone  with  their  renditions  of 
many  popular  songs,  the  five  princesses  nervously 
awaited  the  announcement  that  would  make  one  of 
them  "Queen  of  the  Irish".  As  the  high  point  of  the 
evening  drew  near,  five  worthy  seniors  escorted  our 
cheerleaders  to  the  stage.  Tension  mounted  as  emcee 
Doug  Berger  approached  the  microphone  and  every¬ 
one  pressed  forward  to  catch  a  glimpse  of  the  new 
queen,  "...and  the  1968-69  Queen  of  the  Irish  is  — 
Missy  Mize."  Missy  was  then  crowned  by  last  year's 
queen,  Mary  Jean  Henderson,  after  which  she  danced 
the  Queen's  Waltz  with  SBP  Mike  DeFranco. 

Later  in  the  evening,  Mr.  Isaacson  was  called  upon 
to  present  awards  to  the  outstanding  football  players 
of  this  year's  team.  Those  honored  with  awards  were: 
George  janecke.  Most  Inspirational  Player;  Tom 
Sonn,  Team  Captain;  Marc  Englin,  Best  Lineman; 
Mike  Gauthier,  Best  Back;  and  Brian  Haley,  Most 
Improved  Player. 

As  the  midnight  hour  approached,  everyone  de¬ 
parted,  leaving  the  night  behind  them  but  holding 
still  the  memories  of  the  wonderful  time  that  was  had 
by  all.

be  a  highly  enjoyable  Senior  Prom.  The  stage  for  the 
event  was  set  at  the  luxurious  Nile  Country  Club. 
Couples  danced  into  the  late  hours  accompanied  by 
the  fine  music  of  Shultz-Murphy  Unlimited.  After  a 
mad  rush  to  change  clothes  the  couples  were  again 
gathered  for  a  pleasent  and  splendid  cruise  of  the

mittee,  assisted  by  Br.  Reilly,  and  headed  by  Doug 
Berger  and  Cary  Monuszko,  which  made  it  all  pos¬

class  of  '69.

JUNIOR  PROM 

A  snow  storm  this  week  before  and  a  basketball  game  the  same 
night  could  not  intimidate  the  juniors  and  on  February  1  the  Class 
of  70  held  its  Junior  Prom  "Rainy  Day,  Dream  Away." 

From  nine  until  twelve  the  juniors  danced  the  night  away  in  the 
beautiful  banquet  room  of  the  Norselander  Restaurant.  The  Shultz 
Murphy  Ltd.  had  the  job  of  providing  the  music  and,  throughout 
the  night  they  never  ceased  to  impress  everyone  there. 

Due  to  the  efforts  of  chairman  Jim  DeFranco  and  Larry  Abella, 
and  especially  to  moderator  Br.  Reilly  this  year's  junior  Prom  was 
one  that  will  long  be  remembered  by  the  Class  of  '70.

O'Dea  Welcomes  Return  of  Drama 


Their  first  production,  called  ''While  the  Chimes 
Rang,"  was  directed  by  John  Bergford  and  starred 
Dean  Shaw  and  Camille  Bayttbiere  of  Holy  Names 
Academy.  Presented  at  the  Mother's  Club  Christmas 
Party,  this  play  added  greatly  to  the  mood  produced 
by  the  Glee  Club. 

Their  second  project  for  the  year  was  called  "Every¬ 
man  Today."  Again  produced  by  John  Bergford,  the 
play  featured  Paul  Scanlan  as  Death,  Dean  Shaw  as 
the  Devil,  Tom  Geraghty  as  Everyman,  and  Sheila 
Ward  as  the  Conscience.  The  plot  involved  the  "trial" 
of  a  man  called  by  Death. 


DRAMA  CLUB 


Caught  up  in  a  spirit  of  sophistication  and  culture 
that  saw  the  creation  of  the  Glee  Club,  O'Dea  stu¬ 
dents  got  together  this  year  to  reform  the  Drama 
Club.  Under  the  guidance  of  John  Bergford  and  Tom 
Levschen,  President  and  Vice-President,  respectively, 
the  club  put  on  two  productions  with  the  aid  of  their 
moderator,  Br.  Tompkins.

DEBATE 

In  the  time  of  ancient  Greece  the 
art  of  argumentation  and  debating  was 
considered  a  competitive  sport.  Today, 
however,  due  to  the  lack  of  understand¬ 
ing  and  knowledge  of  debating,  it  has 
lost  a  considerable  amount  of  prestige. 
Debate  still  remains  though,  a  highly 
competitive  interscholastic  activity. 

Despite  the  lack  of  numbers,  the 
O'Dea  Debate  squad,  under  the  leader¬ 
ship  of  Br.  Tomkins,  has  provided  the 
Metro  schools  of  Seattle  with  a  chal¬ 
lenge,  to  beat  O'Dea  High  School's 
Debate  team. 

The  Varsity  team  of  Dave  Kochar-

selves  to  be  a  tremendous  prospect  for

GLEE  CLUB 

This  year,  O'Dea  witnessed  the  revival  of  one  of  the 
school's  time-honored  activities,  the  GLEE  CLUB 
featured  an  all  rookie  squad.  Coached  by  Sister  Rita 
Louise,  our  singing  troupe  faced  a  limited  schedule 
this  season. 

In  their  first  outing,  the  club  led  the  school  in  a 
practice  for  the  folk  mass.  Heartened  by  the  success 
of  their  season  opener,  the  club  stormed  to  victory  at 
the  Mother's  Club  Christmas  Party.  The  singing  of  our 
boys  imparted  a  nostalgic  tear  and  a  joyful  smile  on 
all  who  attended.  Picking  up  momentum,  the  GLEE 
CLUB  overwhelmed  all  doubters  of  their  talent  at  the 
special  Christmas  Assembly.

Although  in  their  first  year  of  competition,  the  O'Dea 
Chess  Club  made  up  mostly  by  underclassmen  has  faired  well 
in  the  Seattle  Metropolitan  League.  Coached  by  Mr.  Howie 
Chinn,  the  Irish  have  done  well  in  the  tournaments  sponsored 
by  the  Seattle  Chess  Club.  Mr.  Chinn,  who  is  now  a  member 
and  student  at  S.U.,  coached  Everett  High  School  to  a  third 
place  in  the  State  Tourney  last  year.  With  over  twenty  active 
members,  O'Dea  is  represented  in  competition  by  Dan  Ger- 
aghty  Tst,  David  Anderson  2nd,  Kevin  Aratani  3rd,  Ezio

BAND 

This  year's  Band,  which  consisted  of  about 
30  members,  greatly  magnified  our  pep  rallies, 
all  home  games,  and  as  many  away  games  as 
was  possible.  Moderator  Brother  Murray,  who  is 
the  master  of  approximately  12  instruments, 
succeeded  this  year  in  constructing  a  truly  vi¬ 
brant  pep  Band.  Chuck  Brittenham,  president 
of  the  Band,  diligently  kept  its  members 
in  check,  making  sure  they  were  always  in  tune. 
For  the  first  time  the  Band  was  instructed  in 
the  art  of  reading  music,  which  definitely  added 
to  the  betterment  of  their  songs. 

This  years  Band  played  an  essential  part  both 
in  instilling  school  spirit  at  the  rallies  and  en¬ 
couraging  support  at  the  games.

A  Goal  Realized 

STUDENT  COUNCIL 

When  President  Mike  DeFranco  took 
office  this  year  the  main  theme  of  his  work 
was  involvement  through  the  O'Dea  Spirit. 
This  was  graphically  shown  in  the  success¬ 
ful  activity  week  which  was  instituted  to 
get  everyone  in  the  student  body  active  in 
some  school  activity.  Taking  up  this  chal¬ 
lenge  the  Student  Council  became  a  very 
serious  experiment  in  student  govern¬ 
ment  through  a  policy  of  active  responsi¬ 
bility  and  power  to  carry  out  its  decisions. 
This  responsibility  was  seen  in  an  attempt 
of  chartering  rooter's  buses  for  away 
games.  Also  two  buses  were  chartered  for 
the  football  team  with  help  of  Rich  Yazz- 
ilino.  The  complete  handling  of  the  candy 
sale  by  the  council  made  it  a  sale  topping 
the  quota  for  the  first  time  in  a  number 
of  years.  The  council  also  played  a  part 
in  the  Christmas  Basket  campaign  and  the 
pre-sale  tickets  for  the  Father's  Club  Bingo. 
Through  the  efforts  of  the  Council  a  Folk 
mass  was  instituted.  The  Council  also  re¬ 
wrote  the  school  regulations  with  regards 
to  dress  and  appearance  and  also  made 
an  extensive  study  of  the  school  consti¬ 
tution.  All  of  their  products  resulted  in  a 
serious,  productive,  spirit-filled  year. 


Mike  and  Jim  DeFranco  discuss  the  meeting's  agenda. 


SODALITY 


This  year,  the  usual  "Day  of  Recol¬ 
lection"  was  dropped  in  favor  of  a  retreat 
for  the  Juniors  and  the  Seniors.  Brother 
Parent  believed  that  it  would  be  more  ac-  | 

ceptable  and  useful  to  the  students.  On 
these  nights  Father  Hayatsu  darkened  the 
gym,  which  was  likened  to  a  prison  camp,  : 

and  the  students  attempted  to  find  their  I

Crosier 

The  official  school  paper,  The  O'Dea  Crosier,  typified 
by  its  imaginative  articles  and  subtle  witticisms,  was 
published  under  editor-in-chief  Gary  Monuszko.  Having 
improved  it  over  last  year's  edition,  the  many  innova¬ 
tions  have  contributed  toward  making  it  a  more  cohes¬ 
ive  paper.  News  editor  Harry  McCoy  kept  close  tabs  on 
all  the  latest  happenings.  Up-to-date  scores,  wins  and 
losses  were  diligently  recorded  on  the  sport  page.  The 
feature  columns  such  as  "Muck  &  Meyer"  and  "Cuts  & 
Bandages",  written  by  Bill  King  and  John  Lukjanowicz, 
displayed  original  humor,  burlesque  antics,  and  bizarre 
happenings.  The  individualityx)f  the  paper  was  added  to 
by  the  illustrations  and  cartoons  of  the  head  artist,  Phil 
Pankow.

Innovation:  New  Theme  of  the  Crosier 


Bits  and  Pieces 

Determined  to  make  the  nevys  more  mean¬ 
ingful,  a  supplementary  vyeekly  newspaper 
"Bits  &  Pieces"  was  instituted  by  Mike  De- 
Franco  and  Phil  Pankow.  Promotion  of  ac¬ 
tivities  was  the  main  theme  behind  the  pub¬ 
lication,  but  it  soon  stemmed  to  reporting 
school  events  as  they  occurred.  Later  on  in 
the  year  after  being  viciously  slandered  by 
the  Crosier,  the  staff  of  Bits  &  Pieces  declared 
full  scale  war  and  fought  to  rectify  the  in¬ 
justice  and  the  defamation  of  character  that 
was  brought  on  them.  Of  course,  this  was  all 
in  fun  and  the  main  purpose  was  to  stimulate 
interest  in  the  school.

YEARBOOK 


Since  their  efforts  are  the  most  enduring  of  all  school 
activities,  the  members  of  the  yearbook  staff  are  char¬ 
ged  with  the  task  of  producing  an  Olympian  that  re¬ 
flects  the  spirit  of  the  school  and  gives  an  accurate  ac¬ 
count  of  the  many  diverse  activities.  The  editors  of  the 
'68-'69  Olympian,  Tom  Monohan  and  Phil  Pankow, 
have  done  a  great  deal  of  work  to  insure  the  success  of 
the  yearbook,  hoping  to  produce  one  of  the  best  in  re¬ 
cent  years  at  O'Dea.  Evidence  of  many  hours  of  hard 
work  can  be  found  in  the  pages  of  this  year's  Olympian. 
The  combined  efforts  of  the  writers,  photographers, 
and  layout  men  has  resulted  in  a  yearbook  that  is  a  full 
eight  pages  larger  than  last  year's.

Varsity  Football 

O'Dea's  Irish  emerged  from  the  '68  season  vyith  a 
highly  respectable  5-4  record,  considering  the  quality 
of  their  opponents.  In  their  season  opener,  O'Dea  fell 
to  the  East  Bremerton  Knights,  one  of  the  state's  top 
class  AA  teams,  14-0.  Distraught  at  their  opening  loss, 
the  Irish  came  back  to  beat  Kentridge  13-0.  Following 
this  win,  O'Dea's  gridders  lost  successive  games  to  the 
state-ranked  teams  from  Woodland  and  Eastmont,  after 
holding  early  leads  in  both  games.  Vancouver  College 
beat  the  slumping  Irish  the  following  week,  19-0.  After 
some  changes  in  the  backfield,  O'Dea  romped  to  a  lop¬ 
sided  victory  over  St.  Martin's  Rangers,  and  then,  in 
their  best  game  of  the  season,  surprised  a  strong  Carrol 
team  on  their  own  field,  winning  by  the  score  of  26-7. 
Building  up  momentum,  inexperienced  Kennedy  was  O'¬ 
Dea's  next  victim,  falling  before  the  Irish  by  the  score  of 
13-0.  In  the  final  game  of  the  season,  O'Dea  faced  a 
much  larger  Evergreen  team.  After  Rush  McKelvey  scor¬ 


ed  with  the  opening  kickoff,  the  Irish  found  themselves 
trailing  with  only  four  minutes  to  go.  Taking  a  hand- 
off  up  the  middle,  Eric  Chappell  broke  to  the  outside 
and  raced  50  yards  to  the  goal  line  to  clinch  a  tie.  With 
the  extra  point  pass  complete  to  John  Quintinskie,  O'¬ 
Dea  had  all  the  points  they  needed  to  win,  14-13.

J.V.  — Sophomore  Football 

This  year,  for  the  first  time,  coaches  Chuck  Kheriaty 
and  Mike  Fox  endured  a  losing  season.  Outmanned  in 
every  game,  the  sophomores  failed  to  beat  strong  teams 
from  Kennedy  and  Blanchet.  The  Junior  Varsity,  how¬ 
ever,  facing  Blanchet  in  their  first  game,  won  going 
away.  Against  traditional  rival  Prep,  though,  O'Dea's 
defense  crumbled  after  the  untimely  loss  of  some  key 
personnel.  During  the  course  of  the  season,  all  of  the 
juniors  managed  to  record  Varsity  playing  time,  while 
two  sophomores,  John  Lukjanowicz  and  Dave  Parent

of  competitive  athletics  known  to  man.  This  years 
Cross  Country  team,  boasting  an  impressive  winning 
season,  has  represented  O'Dea  well  independently

wholeheartedly  in  manufacturing  a  successful  season. 

Senior  Mike  Dalton  built  up  throughout  the  season 

to  a  time  of  12:15  for  2.4  miles.  Other  Irish  harriers 
include:  Bill  King,  Mike  DeFranco,  Mike  Pompeo,

Enthusiastic  Cheerleaders  Trigger  Student  Spirit... 


CHEERLEADERS 

Constantly  typifying  the  spirit  of  the  Irish,  the 
Cheerleaders  exuberance  had  a  contagious  effect  on 
the  O'Dea  cheering  section.  Together  with  the  Yel- 
leaders  and  the  Pep  Band,  the  Cheerleaders  aroused 
the  emotions  of  the  Irish  rooters  to  such  high  levels 
that  often  opposing  teams  expressed  more  fear  of  the 
spectators  than  of  the  Irish  team  they  were  playing. 
During  halftime  the  Cheerleaders  multiple  talents 
were  displayed  to  the  simple  melodic  tunes  of  the 
O  Dea  band.  Besides  showing  leadership  in  their 
respective  schools,  the  Cheerleaders  also  undertook 
the  duties  of  the  color  guard  for  the  flag.  After  de¬ 
voting  many  hours  to  hard  practice  and  their  other 
duties,  the  Cheerleaders  gave  us  something  we  could 
be  proud  of. 

Making  for  an  effective  team,  the  Yelleaders  con¬ 
tributed  to  the  spirit  by  their  yells  and  acrobatics. 
Throughout  the  entire  year  Don  Berger  and  Rich 
Yazzolino  provided  the  seasonal  fans  with  their  spark 
of  enthusiasm.  Tom  McKeon,  noted  for  catching 
coins  and  eggs,  relinquished  his  duties  to  Pat  Fox 
because  of  his  committment  to  basketball  while  Dave 
Kocharhook  let  Cary  Monuszko  have  his  megaphone 
to  concentrate  on  forensics.  Through  many  disap¬ 
pointments  and  letdowns  the  spirit  team's  fanatical 
loyalty  never  ceased.

VARSITY  BASKETBALL 


Very  often  the  record  of  a  team  does  not  express 
the  hard  work  and  determination  put  forth  through¬ 
out  the  season.  Such  was  the  case  of  the  '68-'69  O'Dea 
basketball  team. 

Handicapped  by  a  lack  of  height,  the  Irish  made 
up  for  it  with  hustle  and  effective  shooting.  Facing 
a  schedule  which  included  four  of  the  best  teams  in 
the  state,  Aberdeen,  Seattle  Prep,  Central  Kitsap,  and 
Auburn,  any  team  might  have  been  intimidated  from 
the  beginning— any  team  but  the  Irish.  For  through¬ 
out  the  season,  inspired  by  Coach  Naish,  the  O'Dea 
hoopsters  entered  each  game  with  a  renewed  spirit 
and  a  will  to  win. 

Perhaps  the  story  of  this  year's  season  can  be 
found  in  the  number  of  games  at  home  and  the  num¬ 
ber  of  games  away.  For  out  of  eight  attempts  at  home, 
the  Irish  posted  a  respectable  4-4  record.  However, 
the  O'Dea  repeatedly  did  one  thing  this  year  which 
repeatedly  proved  disastrous.  They  went  on  the  road 
and,  out  of  twelve  games,  could  only  account  for  one 
victory  away  from  home. 


There  were,  however,  many  bright  spots  in  the 
'68-'69  season  which  included  two  victories  over 
St.  Martin's,  a  win  over  a  strong  team  from  Vancouver 
College,  and  a  vengeful  defeat  over  Shelton.  Al¬ 
though  these  victories  brought  joy  to  all  O'Dea  fol¬ 
lowers,  the  most  encouraging  and  satisfying  event  of 
the  season  came  with  a  victory  over  City  Catholic 
rival  Blanchet.  In  this  game,  behind  the  shooting  of 
Tom  McKeon  with  15  points  and  Tom  Sonn  with  12 
points,  the  Irish  proved  their  ability  as  a  team  and 
emerged  with  a  very  deserved 45  to  43  win. 

With  such  dedicated  players  as  high  point  man 
Tom  McKeon,  high-scoring  guards  Mike  Gauthier 
and  Tom  Sonn,  center  Rush  McKelvey,  and  forwards 
Marty  Welch,  Dan  Chandler,  and  A.J.  Callan,  as  well 
as  all  the  players  on  the  team,  O'Dea  once  again  pro¬ 
duced  a  team  with  a  will  and  a  spirit  that  we  can  all 
be  proud  of.

J.V.  BASKETBALL 


This  year's  Junior  Varsity 
Basketball  season  had  a  very 
disappointing  start  but  as  the 
season  vyent  along  the  general 
improvement  of  the  team  re¬ 
sulted  in  a  winning  record. 
Coached  by  Mike  Jones, 
O'Dea's  Junior  Varsity  had  a 
season  highlighted  by  two  wins 
over  Kennedy  and  a  win  over 


Prep.  Scoring  on  the  team 
was  evenly  distributed  between 
guards  Jeff  Jones  and  George 
DePalmo,  and  forwards  Rich 
Haaland  and  Larry  Nissen.  Larry 
Nissen  led  all  of  the  Irish  with  a 
10.8  points  per  game  average. 
Jeff  Jones  was  close  behind  with 
a  10.5  average  while  soph,  star 
Rich  Haaland  hit  at  a  9.7  clip. 


On  the  line  ^or  O'Dea,  Jeff  Jones  scores.  Accuracy  like  this  overcame  a  mediocre  Ken 
nedy  team.

SOPH.  BASKETBALL 

Although  they  did  not  have  a  winning  season  this  year's 
sophomores  assured  Coach  Naish  of  great  support  from  the 
junior  class  for  next  year's  Varsity.  Playing  without  leading 
scorer  Rich  Haaland,  and  center  Rich  Johnson  because  of 
their  play  on  the  j.V.  squad,  sophomores  like  Rich  Ito, 
Gary  Melonsen,  and  John  Vallot  showed  their  ability  to 
contribute  to  future  varsity  teams.

Once  again  the  almighty  O'Dea  High  School  Track 
Team  found  no  peers  in  successfully  defending  its 
reputation  of  being  the  strongest  team  in  the  city. 
After  warming  up  to  a  mediocre  Rainier  Beach  squad, 
O'Dea  then  set  their  sights  on  the  tri-meet  with  Lake¬ 
side  and  Sammamish  in  which  they  won  handily. 
Until  the  Issaquah  Invitational,  the  track  team  never 
met  any  team  that  proved  superior.  Coming  on  strong 
in  the  Issaquah  Invitational  the  Irish  proved  their 
ability  to  win  under  pressure.  In  the  Lake  Washington 
relays  the  Irish  lost  their  first  meet  in  two  years 
coming  in  a  very  strong  fourth.  Culminating  one  of 
their  most  successful  seasons  O'Dea  burned  past  the 
Western  Conference  champions  Seattle  Prep  and  a 
strong  team  from  Blanchet.  Under  the  coaching  of 
Br.  O'Keefe,  Br.  Reilly,  Mr.  O'Brien,  and  Mr.  Lafazia, 
O'Dea  qualified  16  men  for  the  District  10  semi¬ 
finals  with  two  going  on  to  state.  Outstanding  records 
include  Marty  Welch's  6'4"  high  jump.  Joe  Groves 
freshman  record  in  the  880  of  2.07.9  and  the  sweeping 
of  the  running  events  under  880  yards  and  the  relays 
during  the  City  Catholic  Track  Meet.

GOLF 


Although  the  fall  season  of  golf  was  dismal  for 
O'DEA,  the  spring  season  promised  to  bring  better 
fortune  &  luck.  Led  by  returning  letterman,  sopho¬ 
more  Rich  Haaland  the  team  has  gained  some  much 
needed  experience.  Dave  Pellegrini,  and  Rich  Ito 
have  shown  vast  improvement,  that  should  help  the 
team  in  the  spring.  While  losing  four  of  the  five  top 
men  last  year  because  of  graduation,  the  team  does 
not  lack  any  of  the  desire  and  ambition  it  so  desper¬ 
ately  needs.  With  the  able  leadership  of  Br.  Murray, 
as  moderator,  the  team  expects  to  have  a  winning 
season  in  the  spring,  or  at  least  improve  upon  their 
1-3-1  record  which  they  had  compiled  for  the  fall.

to  O'Dea  this  year,  but  he  is  not  new  to  tennis.  Re¬

matches  last  year  while  losing  only  3,  Don  Berger,

VARSITY  BASEBALL 

The  1967-68  Baseball  season  could  be  termed  as  a 
building  year.  With  only  three  seniors  out  for  the 
team,  a  group  of  able  juniors  and  a  couple  of  sopho¬ 
mores  had  to  carry  the  burden.  Recognizing  poten¬ 
tial,  Coach  Don  Isaacson  fielded  a  young  team  which 
improved  with  every  game  they  played.  Although 
their  record  is  not  too  impressive,  4-8-2,  the  season 
was  highlighted  by  a  6-5  victory  over  Prep. 

The  '68-'69  Irish  will  feel  only  a  slight  loss,  losing 
only  three  seniors,  and  will  boast  eight  seasoned  re¬ 
turning  lettermen.  With  the  pitching  of  Marc  Englin, 
Greg  Van  Caver,  and  Tom  Sonn,  the  fielding  of  Mike 
Gauthier,  John  Quintinski,  Mike  Foley,  Jeff  Jones, 
and  Bill  Erwert,  and  the  consistently  sound  hitting  of 
the  team  in  general,  this  year's  O'Dea  baseball  team 
is  anticipating  a  much  more  successful  season  than 
they  had  last  year.

Hard  work  and  devotion  to  the  game  were  the  trademarks  or  last  year's  season.  The  J.V's 
sported  a  2-4-1  record  in  the  '68  season.  Coach  Brother  Gallagher  had  a  solid  nucleus 
of  players  in  Larry'Nissen,  Jim  Schmidt,  Dave  Tullis  and  Jim  Hanley,  but  since  it  was  a  build¬

Coming  up  from  the  ranks  of  the  frosh  and  sophs  this  year  Tim  Bower,  Terry  McKeon,
